Iberia has launched new direct flights between Toronto and Madrid
Iberia has launched new direct flights between Toronto and Madrid, strengthening the flight schedule between Canada, Spain, and the rest of Europe, and consolidating Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport as one of the leading connectivity hubs between the Americas and Europe.
The airline will operate five weekly services between the two cities, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, using the Airbus A321XLR, offering more than 37,000 seats over the summer season.
This new connection is also part of the international promotion initiatives led by Madrid Turismo by IFEMA Madrid, a programme driven by the Madrid Regional Government and Madrid City Council to further strengthen Madrid’s global positioning as the main gateway between Europe and the Americas. It is estimated that during the first year of operation, the route will generate an economic impact of around 31 million euros.
Juan Cierco, Iberia’s Chief Corporate Officer, commented, "The addition of Toronto to our network represents a significant step forward in Iberia’s international growth strategy and in the consolidation of Madrid as one of the leading global hubs between Europe and the Americas. This new route not only broadens travel options for our customers, but also contributes to strengthening economic, business, and tourism ties between Canada, Spain, and the whole of Europe."
